In the marvelous Willingness, McIlvoy and Hale explore the intimate connections between making art and making a life. There is much excellent advice about essential aspects of the craft of fiction - voice, characterization, form, plotting, revision - but what truly distinguishes this book are the deeply thought, deeply felt suggestions about how to keep writing in the midst of doubts and difficulties, how to find a path to what truly matters.
--Margot Livesey, author of The Road from Belhaven
